Lavender Town

Lavender Town

Soul House, Interior

Lavender Town is a quiet, somber town. The area was once known for its common ghost sightings in Pokémon Tower, where departed Pokémon were laid to rest. In an attempt to modernize, the town converted the building in recent years into the Kanto Radio Tower. The Pokémon interred here were moved to the Soul House in the southeast part of town, where they remain under the watchful eye of Mr. Fuji.

Kanto Radio Tower

The Kanto Radio Tower has been on high alert ever since Johto's Radio Tower was taken over by Team Rocket, and visitors are now restricted to the first floor. The Pokégear can detect two of the three programs broadcasted from here on its own, but tuning into the third one requires an EXPN Card.

Program	Host(s)	Channel	Description
Places and People	Lily	16.5	A talk show that discusses various locations and Trainers encountered by the player.
Let's All Sing	Fern	18.5	Broadcasts different music depending on the day of the week. The Pokémon MarchSuTuThSa doubles the wild encounter rate; the Pokémon LullabyMoWeFr halves it.
Poké Flute Channel	—	20.0	Broadcasts Poké Flute music. Used to awaken the Snorlax near Vermilion City.

Soul House

The Soul House was built to accommodate the departed Pokémon from the former Pokémon Tower. There are several graves on the ground floor, and many more located in underground chambers that are off-limits to all but the caretaker, Mr. Fuji.

Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House

The Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House is located in the center of town. Founded by Mr. Fuji, the organization was established to care for orphaned and abandoned Pokémon. Many members of the group live here in their safe house while looking after these Pokémon.

Name Rater

One of the houses on the south side of town belongs to the Name Rater. This man judges a Trainer's nickname for their Pokémon, and offers the chance to change it. His service is free so nicknames may be changed repeatedly.

Route 10 (South)

Route 10

Route 10 connects Lavender Town to Route 9 in the north. Much of the route is occupied by a river and the grounds of the Kanto Power Plant. Anyone traveling through the area must venture through the dim interior of Rock Tunnel. A remote Pokémon Center is located near the north end of the cave.

The Kanto Power Plant building had previously been abandoned, but was recently renovated in order to power the region more efficiently. The electricity generated here powers all sorts of things, including the Magnet Train.

Meet with the Manager

Visit the east side of the building and speak to the man near the generator. The Manager reveals that a thief has stolen an essential piece from the new generator, forcing it offline.

As you approach the exit, the security guard is alerted to a shady character that has been seen loitering around Cerulean City, and asks that you investigate for them.
